RESTING IN HIS ARMS

“COME TO ME, ALL OF YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND CARRY HEAVY BURDENS, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” MATTHEW 11:28

Each of us, as we live in this world, take on heavy burdens that weigh us down. We seem to carry them around with us by loading up on constant worry and/or fear. Sometimes we add burden upon burden as we live our lives, until we come to the end of the road and reach our breaking points. Our God in heaven has given us the opportunity to be relieved of these burdens even as we live them in our daily lives. If our faith is strong and our trust in his Holy Word is non-wavering, then we can rest assured that he will take these troubles upon himself and relieve us of the heavy weight. When we truly turn our problems over to him, our anguish and our sicknesses become his and then we are able to concentrate on what our real goal should be. As he lifts us up, we are to lift him up with praise and thanksgiving. He will become our focus and our reason for living. He will take care of our children and keep us safe and in his grace. He loves each of us more than we can ever imagine. We must trust and have unrelenting faith in his grace and love for us each. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
